Case
Lists of contacts kept by employees on their employer's email system are likely to be the property of the employer, unless they are compartmentalised into separate lists of personal and work contacts (Pennwell Publishing (UK) Ltd v Ornstien and others [2007] IRLR 700).
This week's case of the week, provided by Addleshaw Goddard, covers ownership of contacts lists after employment has ended.
